Back Home

We're back from our trip.  The garden looks pretty good, considering it hasn't had any water and it's been warm and dry.

I decided it's time to dig to see if we have any sweet potatoes.  I started to dig and immediately found a big guy.  It weighed in at 1 lb. 8 oz.  We had it for supper. Yumm!



The bell peppers are all turning red.



The banana peppers are orange.


There were aphids on one of the cauliflower plants, but otherwise everything looks good.  I haven't seen a cabbage butterfly since we returned, so I took the netting off.






About the only thing that doesn't look good is the rhubarb.  It looks almost dead.  I'm not sure if it's the lack of water or maybe just the time of year.  I plan to move it to the front yard soon.

Since we are expecting rain tomorrow, I spent most of the day spreading two yards of compost into the new fruit tree area.  Then I turned it in, anticipating four new trees on Saturday.
